Description

Electrocatalytic conjugated polymer composite material for hydrogen evolution reaction
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical hydrogen production, and particularly relates to an electrocatalytic conjugated polymer composite material for hydrogen evolution reaction.
Background
As an ideal alternative to traditional fossil fuels, hydrogen energy plays a crucial role in achieving renewable and clean energy economy at its high energy density and zero carbon dioxide emissions. However, the current industrial hydrogen production route not only relies on fossil energy, but also produces a large amount of greenhouse gas CO2. The electrolytic water process has been extensively studied in the past decade as an environmentally friendly process based on non-fossil fuels to produce low cost and high purity hydrogen. The cathodic reaction of hydrolysis can be easily promoted with the aid of an engineering effective electrocatalyst: hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER). To date, Pt-based electrocatalysts have been recognized as "master keys" for triggering high performance HER in acidic media because of their fastest kinetics matching moderate Pt-H bonds. Unfortunately, in addition to high cost and scarcity, the catalytic activity and low stability of Pt-based electrocatalysts in alkaline media have hindered their large-scale application, prompting the search for more effective alternatives to Pt-based electrocatalysts.
Carbon-based noble metal monatomic catalysts (SACs) have excellent activity and maximum efficiency of atom utilization, and are of increasing interest in balancing electrocatalytic activity and cost. The excellent performance of the carbon-based noble metal SACs is not only derived from the unique electronic structure of noble metal atoms, the carbon matrix with larger specific surface area and high mass/charge transmission, but alsoProvides a platform for adjusting the electron density through strong intermolecular interaction, and further endows the catalyst with high-efficiency catalytic activity. Although they have wide application prospect, the widely reported annealing synthesis strategy has the disadvantages of high energy consumption, low stability, undefined nano structure, random generation of single atoms and the like. For example, in UiO-66-NH2During the pyrolysis preparation of a single Ru-NC site catalyst, the annealing temperature is high, and a slight change in the annealing temperature will result in a significant difference in catalytic performance. In addition, in addition to the need for tight control of the annealing process, the precise elemental ratios of the precursors are also critical. In many cases, the noble metal atoms tend to agglomerate as their proportion in the precursor increases, but it is difficult to form monoatomic centers as the proportion decreases. Despite much effort in the precise design of carbon-based noble metal SACs, there are obstacles to the long-term industrial application of carbon-based noble metal SACs by means of pyrolysis.
In recent years, coordination polymer materials used in the design of carbon-based noble metal SACs have received much attention due to their tunable structure with the desired multielement composition and high surface area. For example, Sun et al (Nature Communications,2021,12(1):1369.) developed a monoatomic strategy to construct superior NiRu by introducing atomically dispersed Ru atoms0.1-BDC HER electrocatalyst. However, the coordination polymer has poor electrocatalytic activity due to the lack of an intrinsic pi-conjugated structure having electrical conductivity, and annealing to enhance pi-conjugation may cause undesirable structural changes and even destroy fine structures, making the electrocatalytic mechanism uncertain. Therefore, there is an urgent need to obtain new thermolysis-free, structurally distinct, active site-controlled coordination polymer-based SACs to replace the expensive Pt-based alkaline HER electrocatalysts.

Experimental example 1 structural characterization of Ru-CPL
The experimental example performs structural characterization on the composite material Ru-CPL prepared in example 1 and Ru-Por prepared in comparative example 1.
First, experiment method
4000-500cm by using Nicolet-560 spectrophotometer (Nicol, USA)-1Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis is carried out on Por, Ru-Por and Ru-CPL within the range, and the resolution ratio is 2cm-1. The X-ray diffraction under Cu ka irradiation was characterized by Rigaku Ultima IV. XPS spectra were obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, XSAM800, Kratos Analytical, UK) to examine the composition of Ru-CPL and confirm that a well-defined coordination polymer layer was successfully synthesized. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images using Thermo Fisher Scientific (FEI) Apreo S HiVoc; the gold plating thickness for the Ru-CPL coordination polymer was about 1 nm. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), High Resolution TEM (HRTEM), high angle annular dark field scanning TEM (HAADF-STEM), and elemental mapping analysis were performed on FEI Titan 80-300S \ TEM equipped with a Gatan EELS detector.
Second, experimental results
The morphology of the prepared Ru-CPL catalyst is characterized by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The results are shown in fig. 2, where a carbon matrix with graphene surface provides a stable support for pre-assembly of Ru-CPL with Ru-N centers. Overall, the samples obtained all showed significant Ru-CPL covered layered heterostructures compared to the pristine carbon support, and no Ru-Por with bulk layered structure was observed (fig. 2 a-f).
Successful assembly of Ru-CPL on a carbon matrix was further confirmed by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) and corresponding energy spectral x-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) data, with Ru, N and C uniformly distributed in the Ru-CPL (FIGS. 3 a-C). Very low but uniform Ru, N signals were detected in a further STEM-based line scan on the Ru-CPL @ KB catalyst, indicating the formation of an atomic Ru-N coordination structure (fig. 4 a-b).
In the UV-visible spectrum, the strong Soret band of Ru-Por at 417nm red-shifted to 437nm and became broader in Ru-CPL @ KB, indicating the presence of strong pi-pi interacting molecules between Ru-CPL and KB (FIG. 4 a). In Fourier transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectra, Ru-CPL @ KB is 3300cm-1No strong N-H absorption peak appears nearby, and the characteristic peak of pyridine is 1593cm-1Offset to 1630cm-1Indicating that a pyridine N-Ru coordinated structure is formed (FIGS. 4 c-d). The absence of Ru particles or Ru clusters in the Ru-CPL catalyst was further confirmed by XRD results (fig. 4 b). In addition, to further confirm the chemical structure and the element ratio, X-ray was used in these Ru-CPL catalystsLinear photon energy spectroscopy (XPS). The content information of each element is shown in the following table:
Figure BDA0003494391760000071
first, high resolution N1s spectra were performed to investigate the presence of Ru-N coordination in Ru-CPL, and FIG. 5a shows that the binding energy in Ru-CPL is significantly shifted forward compared to that of original Por, indicating that the electronic structure has changed. This can be attributed to the transfer of electrons from Ru to N, which strongly supports the presence of a strong Ru-N coordination bond. Meanwhile, XPS spectroscopic studies of Ru 3p reveal the presence of trivalent cation Ru: ru(463.44eV and 485.64eV), the Ru content in the Ru-CPL catalyst is very small, and the cost balance is good (FIG. 5 b).
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 2 HER PERFORMANCE OF Ru-CPL
This experimental example examined HER performance of the electrodes prepared in example 2 and comparative examples 1 and 2.
First, experiment method
All electrochemical measurements were performed at room temperature in a conventional three-electrode cell using a Gamry reference 600 workstation. Reversible Hydrogen Electrodes (RHE) or Ag/AgCl and graphite rods were used as reference and counter electrodes, respectively. The reference electrode (Ag/AgCl) was calibrated with RHE and the relative potential was 1.010V in 1M KOH. With an area of 0.196cm-2As a substrate for the working electrode, a glassy carbon Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE) was used to evaluate the HER activity of various catalysts. Electrochemical experiments were performed in Ar saturated 1M KOH. All fresh electrolytes were bubbled with pure argon for 30 minutes before measurement. The RDE measurements were performed at 1600rpm, with a scan rate of 10mV s-1
EIS was performed using a potentiostatic EIS procedure with a DC voltage of-0.042V vs RHE, a frequency of 100kHz to 0.1Hz, a 10mV AC potential in Ar-saturated 1.0M KOH electrolyte, at 1600 rpm.
Calculation of Turnover (TOF): first, it is assumed that each ruthenium atom on the catalyst surface forms one active center. XPS was used to calculate the number of Ru atoms in the Ru-CPL catalyst and to calculate the molar mass of Ru and the mass on the glassy carbon electrodeMagnitude load (m)Loading). Thus, TOF of Ru-CPL electrocatalyst with Pt/C is calculated from equation (1):
Figure BDA0003494391760000081
wherein I is LSV, and F is the Faraday constant (96485.3C mol)-1) And n is the number (mol) of active sites. The factor 1/2 is based on the assumption that two electrons are necessary to form a hydrogen molecule.[4]
Calculation of Mass Activity (MA): mass activity (A g)metal -1) Derived from current density (MA cm)-2) The current density was measured by mass loading (0.250mg cm)-2) And normalization of each metal at a specific application overpotential. Equation (2) shows the calculation of MA:
Figure BDA0003494391760000082
wherein, | j | is the current density (mA cm) in the LSV data under a certain applied overpotential-2) Wt.% is the mass fraction of metal in the catalyst in the XPS data.
And (3) stability testing: in a saturated Ar 1.0M KOH electrolyte, at a constant working current density of 10mA cm-2The stability of the catalyst was tested using chronopotentiometry.
Second, experimental results
The hydrogen evolution catalytic activity of the Ru-CPL catalyst in an Ar-saturated 1M KOH electrolyte was examined. Typically by a voltage at 10mA cm-210) Observed over-potential versus Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE) to evaluate HER performance. As shown in FIG. 6, the LSV curve indicates that the Ru-CPL @ KB (1:1) catalyst has the highest HER activity at eta10The minimum overpotential is 42mV, which is better than the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C (. eta.)1044 mV). Ru-CPL @ KB at high Current Density (200mA cm)-2) The overpotential is 216mV, which is better than that of commercial Pt/C (eta)200348mV) and is greatly superior to the original RCatalytic activity of u-Por. It was observed by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) that the Rct values for all Ru-CPL catalysts were less than those of the original Ru-Por, which means that Ru-CPL has a faster charge transfer capability than Ru-Por (FIG. 7).
The kinetics of all samples were studied by Tafel plots. As shown in FIG. 8a, Ru-CPL @ KB exhibits a dec of 50.9mV-1Low Tafel slope of approximately 44.1mV dec of Pt/C-1. Tafel value of Pt/C (44.1-154.5mV dec) with increase of overpotential-1) Increases much faster than Ru-CPL @ KB (50.9-98.3mV dec-1) This shows that Ru-CPL @ KB has a competitive advantage in practical applications. Exchange Current Density (j) of Ru-CPL @ KB0) Is 7.4131mA cm-2Much higher than Pt/C (5.8883mA cm)-2) And other catalysts (Ru-CPL @ rGO (1.9054mA cm)-2)),Ru-CPL@CNTs(0.2831mA cm-2) Indicating that it has excellent intrinsic HER electrocatalytic activity (fig. 8 b).
The intrinsic activity of individual Ru sites in Ru-CPL catalysts was evaluated by calculating TOF values (fig. 8 c). The result shows that the optimal Ru-CPL @ KB shows extremely high intrinsic activity, and the TOF value rises by 5.03H at the overpotential of 150mV2 S-1Is Pt/C (1.31H)2 S-1) 3.83 times (fig. 8 d). Ru-CPL @ KB shows excellent HER catalytic activity and lowest eta in all samples10And a Tafel slope value.
To compare the cost of the different catalysts, the mass activity of the different Ru-CPL @ M samples was compared to the mass activity of Pt/C (FIG. 9). The optimal Ru-CPL @ KB (9.44A mg-1Ru) has a mass activity 8.58 times higher than 20% wt% Pt/C (1.10A mg-1Pt) at 150 mV. While the Ru-CPL @ KB catalyst contains only C, N and Ru, it is much less expensive than other optimal catalysts that require more noble metal in alkaline electrolyte to deliver activity.
Continuous production of H for Ru-CPL @ KB2Stability and durability of (2) were investigated and compared with Pt/C (FIG. 10). At 10mA cm-2At constant current density of (2), the overpotential increased only slightly by 30mV after 80000s of operation, whereas the overpotential of Pt/C shifted by 200mV after 65000 s of operation. Shows that the stability of Ru-CPL is superior to that of commercial catalysisAnd (3) Pt/C.
As can be seen from the above examples and experimental examples, the present invention provides an electrocatalytic composite material for hydrogen evolution reaction which is stable, low in energy consumption and high in catalytic activity. Through pi-pi intermolecular interaction, Ru-CPL with a reasonable layered structure and a controllable form is established on conductive carbon matrixes (KB, CNTs and rGO) with different dimensions. Under the condition of non-pyrolysis, Ru-CPL with the original structure is prepared. The Ru-CPL material provided by the invention shows stronger alkaline HER catalytic activity than the most advanced Pt/C material at present, has the cost advantage and better stability, and has good application prospect.
